Apple HomePod Release Delayed Until 2018

"We can't wait for people to experience HomePod, Apple's breakthrough wireless speaker for the home, but we need a little more time before it's ready for our customers", the company told Paczkowski. Apple hasn't been shy about talking up HomePod's audiophile credentials, squeezing six tweeters and a long-throw woofer - each powered by its own, custom amplifier - into the squat cylindrical design.

Apple has delayed the launch of HomePod, its upcoming smart home speaker, to "early 2018".

Applefirst showed off HomePod at its annual Worldwide Developer Conference in June and said the device would ship before the end of the year for US$349. Amazon's Echo line starts at $50. Apple meant to release the $349 HomePod in early December so it could be on holiday shopping lists and compete against Amazon's Echo and the Google Home speaker.

The delay could be related to obtaining the raw materials for the HomePod's components, as John Martellaro suggested on Friday's TMO Daily Observations podcast.

Angel Adriana Lima's visa has been reportedly delayed and four other models were reportedly denied visas to travel to China. Malik, 24, and Gigi Hadid began dating in 2015 after he attended that year's Victoria's Secret fashion show in NY .

The second-year running back is reportedly spending his suspension out of the country to "clear his head". The decision means Elliott will serve out the remaining five games of his six-game suspension.

They must find oxygen to figure out if it could be a good host planet for human colonisation or whether life already exists there. An global team of astronomers has discovered a temperate Earth-sized world with the potential to harbor alien life.
